<div dir="ltr"><br>You can allways use compiled package and avoid to compile anything on gentoo,, and due we all use almos the same machine is no sense to compile over and over again, only if you find that a packges is not already compliled you can do it your self and the share with the rest to avoid it.<br>

I hope you guys don't mind killing your phone or uSD's memory sooner<br>

Why? Are you making some unwarranted assumptions about using Gentoo on<br>
embedded systems?<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
No unwarranted assumption, the only argument you could throw back at me is<br>
an argument against using Gentoo instead of any .deb or .rpm based<br>
distribution ;)<br>
<br>
Please, no distro-war, you're free to kill your flash devices sooner ;)<br>

Why would it kill the flash?<br>

<br></div>
With all of the thrashing, while it's attempting to compile everything?<br>
<br>
I know that I have gentoo on a MythTV box, and when installing anything heavy, forget using it for 1/2 to 3/4 of a day.<br>
